World of Tanks Supertest: Object 263 Branch New Changes

The community was very vocal about the changes to Object 263 branch, and Wargaming took some into consideration and has come up with a second proposal. It was agreed it was necessary to build gameplay continuity and the SU-122-54 didn’t fit the branch gameplay, meaning it will go into retirement.

Its place will be taken by Object 263 and Object 268 Version IV will be introduced as the new Tier X. The new tank showed excellent results during the tests and it will be a worthy vehicle for its Tier. Object 263 will receive a significant increase in efficiency when moved to Tier IX, becoming more “noob-friendly” and comfortable to play. SU-100M1 and SU-101 will continue as Tier VII and VIII and will receive some well deserved rebalances.

If this new branch is implemented into the game (which I honestly don’t see why it should), then what will happen to the SU-122-54 ? It’s a decently well know HISTORICAL vehicle, so they can’t possibly think that replacing it with a vehicle that only appeared in blueprints/concept drawings is a good idea, right ? Hopefully it’ll get it’s own mini-branch then, but I fear it’ll just become a tier 8 premium TD. :/

I thoroughly detest WGs agenda to buff the armor of all “secondary lines” now (first the secondary MT branch receiving more armor, now secondary TDs).
As if they tried to FORCE fucking armor meta. They are simply running away from and working their way around the real elephant in the room – gold ammo, which is in all honestly the only reason why armor gameplay sucks right now.

What’s the point of armor if you still have rounds on your own tier that can penetrate said armor with absolute ease?

These TDs once were beautifully snipy, just sit back, relax and snipe some for your team. The only changes they should have made should have been about better aim time and better gun depression. They are completely butchering this line now, trying to turn stealthy TDs into half-assed brawlers. Used to be my favourite line. Fuck this bollocks.

TD’s can be used perfectly as brawler’s because sniping cannot be done because RNG is in the game … also premium ammo is great you can use different sorts of ammo on the tank just like in real life tanks you can have more shells types in 1 tank… however i think the shells should be reworked… APCR should have more pen and velocity but less alpha damage… HEAT should have less pen but greater alpha …

Hesh should be is own shell and not like HE with hyper pen… HESH is really special in real life and should be in game 🙂 if you pen … ooooooh boy … R.I.P

i think HE splash damage should be nerfed because SPG’s can have up to 13 meters splash radius … this is killing light tanks & mediums the most because if a T92 splashes 8 meters next your tank you lose roughly about 500 hp and often modules (Detrack garantueed) and crewmembers also the minimum stun duration should be only when dealing damage…

Im the only one who see multiple issues here? What kind of idiot put worst accuracy in tier and like worst dpm on same vehicle? Who is supposed to have fun playing it? and change so unique vehicle. I do not understand why WG even want to do this? is there too few people pplaying 263 or what? and what is the reason for that..bad tank or something? Because tank is very situational..if WG thinks its bad…just improve it like u do with all tanks and test it. But why in the name of good would u replace it with worst 750gun of all time?

Dear harkonnen. As a community contributor, does your voice get through to wargaming? Pls make sure they get the message of the community: DONT TOUCH MY BELOVED 263.PLEASE. its a unique tank, with unique playstyle.

This is complete b.s.. They just want to need the 263s pen more gold rounds it’s accuracy more gold rounds. And nerfing it’s view range by 50 meters. What is the point of going in the test server testing a tank then going grinding it only to have it changed nerfed or flat out removed . This is more wargaming b.s. and proof they don’t care what we say. They just wanted to nerf the 263 . Greed freed greed and more greed.

I hate the idea’s to begin with : another 750alpha TD and being nothing special at all … the obj 263 aka the yolowagen is just really nice because it is different than the 750 alpha’s if you replace this why would people grind it ? XD i think adding more tanks to the tech tree is great but please don’t remove the already great existing one’s but add more to create more diversity on the battle ground making it more enjoyable for everyone 🙂

the object 268 should be like old times to tho… 850 alpha more mobile … its not fun to create more camper TD’s because that what it is now .. and soon the obj 268 v4 will be …. RANT!

Its a joke. Put that damn td after the ob704 and leave the my beloved ob263 where is it now. Its an awesome vehicle, not a complete op td, just unique and pure joy. They have broke the ob268 (my old ferrari) to the ground where is not even fun and now they want to fuck up the little brother too??????
